Mexico - Thousands of piñatas made in Mexico depicting presidential GOP candidate Donald J. Trump are expected to invade the U.S. border, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE will monitor the piñata invasion and keep track how many piñatas legally get imported.

The Trump piñata crazed comes days after GOP Presidential Trump announced his bid for the GOP nomination for President and claimed that Mexico and Latin America, including the middle east send drugs, rapists and criminals to the U.S.

Trump also said he would built a wall between the U.S. and Mexican border and have Mexico pay for it, if he would get elected. His anti-Mexican immigrant statement's have backfired and the piñata depicting Trump was created to mock his eccentric way of thinking.

Reyes was among the 177 bikers unjustly taken into custody by Waco police on May 17 at the Twin Peaks Restaurant.

June 26, 2015

Killeen, Texas - On Thursday, Rolando Reyes, 40, a member of the Caballeros M.C. in Texas was admitted to the Metroplex Hospital in Killeen after suffering a stroke (mild heart attack), according to a posting in the Free Our Bikers Facebook account. L.C. Henry posted on Free Our Bikers, "Brothers and sisters and friends and familys I want to let everyone know that our Brother Rolo was admitted to Metroplex hospital yesterday with a mild heart attack. All the stress and aggravation from being held hostage and wrongly accused put too much stress on him. He will have an angiogram this morning and I will keep everyone updated on his condition as I know more. Please keep Brother Rolo and his wonderful family in your thoughts and prayers."
Reyes was diagnosed with 95% blockage and required a stent and is recovering from a mild stroke.

Reyes was arrested among 177 bikers at the Twin Peaks Restaurant on May 17 and was released on a $25K after being held for more than three weeks on a $1M bond for a frivolous felony charge by the Waco police and the McLennan County District Attorney's Office for engaging in organized crime.

Last Monday, the Waco Police Department responded to criticism and allegations claiming that the department and the McLennan County District Attorney's Office are corrupt and illegally detained without due process and falsely charged 177 bikers with one felony count each for engaging in organized crime and had illegally set $1M bonds for everyone arrested. Since, the bikers arrests, some of the bonds have been reduced. Few bikers still unjustly remained in jail unable to post bonds for more than a month.

Nine bikers were killed by police and 20 were wounded by SWAT and Texas Rangers involved in the melee.

Waco Police Chief Brent Stroman and McLennan County D.A. Abel Reyna have not released any video from the Twin Peaks biker brawl between the Cossacks, Scimitars and Bandidos M.C.s, including police. The Bandidos have not made a public statement until Monday, when they alleged that the Waco police has lied about what actually happened at the Twin Peaks on May 17 and are refusing to release video evidence from the Don Carlos Restaurant that would exonerate bikers and implicate Waco police in the murders of nine bikers.

Sergeant Patrick Swanton, spokesman for the Waco Police Department (WPD) released the following statement after the Bandidos M.C. alleged that the police department had continuously lied and are refusing to released video evidence and autopsy reports because it would taint an ongoing investigation and a jury pool for trials. The Bandidos M.C. dispute Sgt. Swanton's reasoning.

Sgt. Swanton's statement posted on the WPD Facebook account said, "I have begun to realize there is a group of individuals who regardless of what we say will have a tainted picture of what actually happened at Twin Peaks...Obviously what I release has to be approved by PD administration, investigating detectives and the District Attorney as this case will need to be tried in court, not on Facebook.

"I said from the very first day we have several videos that captured the scene at Twin Peaks. That fact stands and is undeniable. The FBI is in possession of those videos to assist us in the investigation. It is not up to me as to when that gets released but rest assured it will. Unedited, unaltered and will show exactly what was started by bikers and how it led to officers having to use deadly force to stop their violence towards each other and Law Enforcement.
"We have been and will maintain to be truthful, as transparent as possible without jeopardizing the case investigation and will reveal every aspect of this case in time. Some think we can release everything at this point but that is simply not the truth. This is real life and not a made for TV movie.
In the early hours of the incident we put out as much as possible in a very fluid situation to inform our public. We immediately corrected any information if need be as we learned more during the investigation. That is not any indication we misled anyone. It was simply an attempt to share what we believed had occurred during the start of the incident.
Thank you for your concern and as we can, information will be shared with all in as timely a manner as I can," Sgt. Swanton stated.

Las Vegas Attorney Stephen Stubbs released a statement from the Bandidos M.C. on Monday alleging the WPD has lied and fed misinformation to the mainstream media. The Bandidos full statement says, "The Bandidos Motorcycle Club (hereafter, "Bandidos") is saddened by the incident that took place at the Twin Peaks Restaurant in Waco, Texas on May 17, 2015. The violence was senseless, completely unnecessary, and wrong.

"From the beginning, the Waco Police Department has freely spoken to the press and said many things that have since been proven untrue. This false narrative is damaging to everyone involved. Still, the Waco Police department continues to feed false information to the public, and at the same time is refusing to disclose important information/evidence (such as video evidence and autopsy reports) that would independently prove what really occurred. The Waco Police Department refuses to speak beyond their planned narrative, claiming that they do not want to "influence a potential jury pool" or "interfere with the investigation." However, this is nonsense as nothing in the video and/or autopsy reports will alter or change any part of their investigation. The release of the video and/or autopsy reports would simply clear up rampant misinformation. If the Waco Police Department didn't want to interfere with the investigation or influence a potential jury pool, it should not have released its false narrative in the first place and instead should have stayed silent during the entirety of the investigation. They did not, and now, after the false information has been widely reported, the Waco Police Department is content to feed the false narrative and allow the public to believe falsehoods. Therefore, the Bandidos demand that all video evidence and autopsy reports be released immediately to clear up the damaging misinformation that is running wild.

The following is true and correct:

1) The Bandidos were at the Twin Peaks restaurant to attend an organized political meeting and nothing else. A regional meeting for the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents (a bona fide political organization centered on Constitutional rights) was scheduled, and a prominent member of the Bandidos was the key-note speaker at the meeting. This Bandido key-note speaker was to report on the National Coalition of Motorcyclist event that occurred weeks earlier. Because COCI members from across the state were expected to attend this special meeting, it was purposefully scheduled in Waco, TX, a central city between Austin and Dallas.

2) The Bandidos have no knowledge of any other meeting. The Bandidos are aware that members of other motorcycle clubs are claiming that there were plans to meet with the Bandidos in Waco, TX on May 17, 2015. This claim is not true.

3) All weapons in possession of members the Bandidos were legally owned and carried.

4) Members of the Bandidos were not aggressors, did not start the altercation, did not strike first, were not the first to pull weapons, and were not the first to use weapons. The majority of the Bandidos took cover, and all involvement in the altercation by members of the Bandidos was in self-defense. Texas law allows people to defend themselves with the same amount of force that is exerted against them, and a few members of the Bandidos acted in accordance with these laws. In fact, members of the Bandidos involved in the incident did not even have time or opportunity to get off of their motorcycles before police came in," the Bandidos stated.

So far, it seems the WPD and the McLennan County District Attorney Reyna have sealed the video surveillance recording taken from the Don Carlos Restaurant and won't release it to media, which according to the latest information by Waco police indicates that the FBI has the video in question and is reviewing it. Autopsy reports of the nine bikers killed and other relevant evidence hasn't been released by police in an attempt to cover-up a Waco police massacre at the Twin Peaks, according to eye witnesses and bikers who were arrested. Police have cited that they don't want to jeopardize the ongoing investigation, so the information won't be released, which has cast doubt about the investigation itself, according to attorneys representing some of the bikers arrested and bonded.

Waco Police Chief Stroman nor McLennan County D.A. Reyna haven't admitted that the initial criminal affidavit warrants by Waco Police Detective Manuel Chavez were illegally served due to a lack of due process and individual probable cause hearings for each biker when the warrants were illegally signed by Justice of the Peace Walter H. Peterson who unlawfully set $1M bonds for some of the bikers arrested in May. Peterson is prohibited by Texas law to preside over felony cases involving jail terms and to set bonds.

A complaint has been filed against Justice of the Peace Peterson with the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct claiming that Peterson illegally signed warrants without individual probable cause hearings, was bias and set excessive bonds for bikers violating his limited authority under state statues.

Los Angeles, California - the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Corporation has confirmed that Devorise Dixon, 25, was not served a fried rat instead of a chicken tender. An attorney representing Dixon released the alleged piece of fried rat to an independent lab for testing and DNA results proved it was actually a chicken tender instead of a fried rat as Dixon claimed, according to Rodrigo Coronel, the KFC spokesman.

Dixon falsely claimed that he got served a fried rat as a chicken tender on June 11 at a KFC franchise located at 11864 Wilmington Ave. Dixon posted several photos and a video of a piece of chicken with the shape of a rat that he claimed was served to him. Dixon had not been very cooperative in releasing the questionable food item that went viral on the social network to an independent lab to get it tested. His attorney got the item from Dixon and had it tested and it came negative for being a fried rat. KFC offered to pay for the lab test.

A former Marine Veteran who served between 1979 to 1986 in the military, but was deported in 2001 after serving 10-years in a federal prison for a drug charge has passed away on Thursday after years of trying to get earned medical treatment benefits from the VA administration.

San Diego, California - On Thursday, José Solorio, a former Marine Veteran who served between 1979 to 1986 in the military and then deported in 2001 after serving 10-year in a federal prison for a drug conviction has passed away. Solorio was honorably discharged from the military and had earned Veteran Administration (VA) medical benefits, but those benefits were denied simply because he was deported and only if he would return and apply in person for those benefits would be restored.

For years Solorio attempted to apply for those benefits and was unsuccessful until he joined the Deported Veterans Support House (DVSH) in Rosarito, Baja California in Mexico headed by another deported Veteran Hector Barajas, who is the founder of the group.

Barajas was able to get support from people in the U.S. who got the ACLU to get involved and interested in the deported Veterans plight of not getting their earned medical benefits. Solorio is one of the first deported Veterans to get a 10-day humanitarian visa from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to return to the U.S. legally and apply in person for VA medical benefits. Solorio was diagnosed with incurable and deadly Pulmonary Fibrosis, which prevents the lungs from functioning and getting oxygen.

Solorio had his temporary visa extended to 30 to 90 days and was admitted to the La Jolla VA Hospital in San Diego, but the VA wouldn't allow for Solorio to be flown to another VA hospital located in Seattle, Washington to get the specialized treatment needed to keep him alive or get a lung transplant. The doctors diagnosed that Solorio would likely not survive because the disease had deteriorated his lungs and had waited to long to get treatment or had been prevented by the VA from getting treatment in the early stages.

Barajas and the ACLU have confirmed that there could be hundreds of cases like Solorio in which other deported Veterans have illegally been deprived from earned medical treatment and benefits from the VA for illnesses incurred during military service.

The following deceased deported Veterans have suffered the fatal consequences from the Obama and VA administrations gross negligence in denying them medical treatment and benefits as afforded by the U.S. Congress.

On April 14, 2015, former Army Veteran Juan José Montemayor passed away in Tijuana after a long illness without VA medical benefits and was cremated on May 17. His ashes were returned to Wisconsin in the U.S. Only upon death, a deported Veteran can return with full military honors and a head marker and burial plot is provided at a military cemetery.

On March 10, 2015, Gonzalo Chaidez, 64, a deported U.S. Army Veteran passed away in Tijuana. Chaidez suffered from Tuberculosis and as a deported U.S. Veteran, he was not allowed to use his earned benefits or seek treatment at any VA hospital. Under deportation, all Veterans are illegally stripped from their earned benefits under the last three presidential administrations, including President Obama's administration.

In April 21, 2014, Hector Barrios, 70, a deported U.S. Army Sergeant Veteran died in Tijuana from a heart stroke and was a house resident at the DVSH too. Barrios attempted to collect earned VA benefits for years, but was unsuccessful and died in poverty because he couldn't return to the U.S. to apply for medical care.

Update: The Deported Veterans Support House in Baja California, Mexico is planning a vigil at the San Ysidro border crossing at 3:00 p.m. for the recently deceased and deported U.S. Veteran José Solorio for July 4th and members of the ACLU from San Diego, California will be attending too.

Los Angeles, California - On Tuesday, the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Corporation posted on their Facebook (FB) account that Devorise Dixon is not being to cooperative and will not release the food item that he claimed on June 11 on his FB account that he got served a rat as chicken at a KFC franchise located at 11864 Wilmington Ave. Dixon posted several photos and a video of a piece of chicken with the shape of a rat that he claimed was served to him. But to date, Dixon has not been very cooperative in releasing the questionable food item that has gone viral on the social network to an independent lab to get it tested. KFC has even offered to pay for the lab test and is willing to work with an attorney representing Dixon to get the item tested. So far KFC says, Dixon has refused an offer by KFC to get it tested.

KFC posted the following statements on their FB account on Tuesday, "KFC takes customer claims very seriously, and we are continuing to investigate this matter. Our chicken tenders often vary in size and shape, and we currently have no evidence to support this claim. We are aggressively trying to reach Mr. Dixon, and we request that he return to the restaurant with the product for testing, or call us at 1-800-Call-KFC.

"KFC has made various attempts to contact this customer, but he is refusing to talk to us directly or through an attorney. Our chicken tenders often vary in size and shape, and we currently have no evidence to support this allegation. We have extended the opportunity to have an independent lab evaluate the product at our own expense, but the customer refuses to provide the product in question."

KFC now says, without evidence, they can not confirm, if Dixon's claim is actually true. Dixon has not been to vocal or has posted any updates other then allowing news articles about his claim to be posted by FB users on his account.

Dixon's rat claim might not be what it seems, if he can not provide proof of evidence about his alleged claim of being served a rat instead of chicken.

Waco police released information indicating that 3 officers had actually fired 12 shots in self defense during the May 17 Twin Peaks police massacre of nine bikers resulting in 27 injuries by gunfire.

By H. Nelson Goodson

June 13, 2015

Waco, Texas - On Friday, the Waco Police Department (WPD) released information that indicated that only three Waco police officers assigned to the SWAT team fired their weapons in self-defense and actually only fired 12 rounds during the May 17 Twin Peaks Restaurant biker incident that resulted in nine biker homicides and 27 bikers reported injured. The latest information released by Waco police only shows another contradiction that was previously reported that more than a dozen rounds were recovered at the Twin Peaks Restaurant parking lot on the day of the incident. A lawsuit filed by the Don Carlos Restaurant against the Twin Peaks Restaurant claims that thousands of rounds were fired damaging multiple Don Carlos customers vehicles.

Police haven't confirmed that members of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were also present, but law enforcement sources indicate they were at the scene along with Texas Rangers monitoring the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents (TCCI) regional scheduled meeting.

So far, it seems the Waco Police Department and the McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna have sealed the video surveillance recording taken from the Don Carlos Restaurant and won't release it to media, which according to the latest information by Waco police indicates that the FBI has the video in question and is reviewing it. Autopsy reports of the nine bikers killed and other relevant evidence hasn't been released by police in an attempt to cover-up a Waco police massacre at the Twin Peaks, according to eye witnesses and bikers who were arrested. Police have cited that they don't want to jeopardize the ongoing investigation, so the information won't be released, which has cast doubt about the investigation itself, according to attorneys representing some of the bikers arrested and bonded.

Waco Police Chief Brent Stroman nor McLennan County D.A. Reyna haven't admitted that the initial criminal affidavit warrants by Waco Police Detective Manuel Chavez were illegally served due to a lack of due process and individual probable cause hearings for each biker when the warrants were illegally signed by Justice of the Peace Walter H. Peterson who unlawfully set $1M bonds for some of the bikers arrested in May. Peterson is prohibited by Texas law to preside over felony cases involving jail terms and to set bonds.

A complaint has been filed against Justice of the Peace Peterson with the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct claiming that Peterson illegally signed warrants without individual probable cause hearings, was bias and set excessive bonds for bikers violating his limited authority under state statues.

In a press release on Friday, the WPD stated, "...It is our intent to release regular updates, but the pace of developments is often beyond our control. We also do not want to release any information that would jeopardize the ongoing criminal investigation...there are a total of 44 shell casings recovered from the Twin Peaks scene. This number does not include the revolver rounds fired by non-law enforcement shooters. Those casings are still being counted. 12 of those casings were from the rifles of 3 Waco Officers who discharged their weapons in defense of their selves or a third party. The Waco SWAT Officers' weapons are .223 caliber rifles that are capable of full-auto fire; Officers only fired in semi-auto mode during the incident. There was no full-auto gunfire from any of the Officers at the scene. As is normal practice, rifles carried by the Waco SWAT Officers were deployed with sound suppressors. No other Officers fired rounds from any other weapon during the incident. The Officers involved in the shooting have been assigned administrative duties pending the outcome of the investigation.

The number of weapons discovered during our search of the crime scene has increased since the first release and may continue to increase. The weapon count at this point in time is at least 475 weapons. This includes 151 firearms, 12 of which were long guns. The weapons recovered include: knives, brass knuckles, batons, tomahawks, weighted weapons, a hatchet, stun guns, bats, clubs, a machete, a pipe, an ax, pepper spray, and a chain...Videos of the incident have been transferred to FBI Investigators for analysis. Full autopsy and ballistics analysis is being conducted by outside labs and the completed and final results have not been returned to us as of this release...We initially impounded 130 motorcycles and 91 other vehicles. As of June 10, 2015, 52 motorcycles and 47 vehicles have been released to the owners. In addition to those, 12 of the motorcycles and 3 of the other vehicles were released to the lien holders due to repossession...There were 239 persons detained at the crime scene as result of the Twin Peaks shootings. At least 62 individuals were released from the crime scene or from the Convention Center without charges being filed. 177 persons were arrested that night or subsequently on warrants obtained by Detectives." The warrants served by Waco detectives were illegally served, according to attorneys representing the bikers that were falsely charged with engaging in organized crime.

A federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed against the Waco Police Department, the City of Waco and McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna by one of the bikers arrested.

The Waco police Twin Peaks cases show a lack of accountability in this whole debacle of justice by certain criminals in law enforcement who openly use the law to commit crimes against citizens. The Texas Attorney General and governor including the U.S. Department of Justice should be ashame for not stepping in and launching an investigation into the mass corruption of justice by members of the Waco police, Texas Rangers, ATF and both the McLennan County D.A.'s Office and local judges as well as Waco City officials.

After weeks of allegations of a biker massacre by police, illegal mass arrests, $1M bonds issued by an incompetent justice of the peace, corruption within the police department in Waco, including the McLennan County District Attorney's Office in Texas has cast doubt that law enforcement officers and agencies involved are innocent of no wrong doing.

Waco, Texas - After 23 days of the Twin Peaks biker massacre on May 17 by Waco police and Texas Rangers, no video evidence has been released to exonerate them of no wrong doing. A law enforcement task force composed of Waco police, SWAT, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and members of the Texas Rangers who were monitoring a bi-monthly Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents (TCCI) are accused of corruption, of a major cover up that also involves the McLennan County District Attorney's Office and the City of Waco police chief.

Since the biker massacre at the Twin Peaks, police have been contradicted of what actually transpired leading to the murders of nine bikers. What has been confirmed is that police arrested numerous bikers and charged them with engaging in organized crime for just wearing colors (motorcycle club logo patches) and attending a scheduled biker legislative awareness meeting. The biker criminal warrant affidavits by Waco Police Detective Manuel Chavez illegally claimed without probable cause that all of the bikers detained engage in organized crime and were bonded by Justice of the Peace Walter H. Peterson who signed the warrants by Chavez and set illegal bonds of $1M each for the 177 arrested. Peterson can not preside over felony cases (only misdemeanor cases without jail time or bonds and civil cases up to $10k in liability), sign felony warrants or even set bonds, according to Texas state law.

Abel Reyna, the McLennan County District Attorney, Waco Police Chief Brent Stroman and other McLennan County judges knew that Peterson couldn't sign felony warrants and set excessive bonds, but kept quiet and proceeded to hold bikers on frivolous charges.

Police confiscated camera surveillance video from the Don Carlos Restaurant parking lot where the biker brawl between members of the Cossacks, Scimitars and Bandidos M.C.s started and ended with police shooting and the killing of nine bikers and injuring by gunfire at least 27 other bikers. D.A. Reyna and Police Chief Stroman won't release the full and unedited video because it would implicate and show that police murdered the nine bikers, according to witnesses who were there.

According to witnesses, one of the Cossacks shot a Bandidos in the shoulder after a parking lot altercation. The injured Bandidos biker survived and was arrested. Then seconds later, police who were spying and monitoring the biker meeting arrived and indiscriminately shot and killed nine bikers and fired into the crowded parking lot of bikers.

Afterwards about 192 bikers were detained, but police only charged 177 with engaging in organized crime.

On Sunday, the ACLU of Texas called on the Waco Police Department and the McLennan County D.A.'s Office to release details and the videos. The Amercan Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas released the following statement, "Overzealous and abusive police work is but one facet of the multiple fissures in our criminal justice system. From the manner in which our communities are policed, to the way people are processed and prosecuted: It's time to reform a criminal justice system that disparately targets and ensnares certain groups and minorities. Based on news reports, many of these bikers remain jailed without charges, bonds set, or arraignments. We call on the Waco Police Department to release a detailed report on what triggered their response, the rationale for detaining such a large number of these bikers, and the reasons for keeping many of them locked up without charge."

A federal civil rights lawsuit was filed by a biker, Matthew Clendennan against the Waco Police Department, 14 police officers involved and D.A. Reyna. Clendennen's attorney also filed a complaint against Justice of the Peace Peterson with the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct claiming that Peterson illegally signed warrants without individual probable cause hearings, was bias and set excessive bonds for bikers violating his limited authority under state statues.

More than 1K bikers attended a rally and protest in Waco on Sunday calling for D.A. Reyna to release the remaining 120 bikers still being held on $1M bonds.

So far, the U.S. Department of Justice or Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have yet to launch an investigation into the massive illegal arrests of bikers by police on May 17, frivolous charges filed by incompetent Waco Police Detective Chavez, the McLennan County D.A.'s decision to hold bikers on frivolous felony charges and the illegal excessive bonds set by Justice of the Peace Peterson.

Sturtevant, Wisconsin - On Sunday, police and security had to restraint and arrest several people after a discontent crowd began to get upset shortly after discovering that one of the featured artists, the Banda Arkangel R-15 wasn't going to show up as previously advertised. The afternoon Mexican rodeo began around 12:00 p.m. and was scheduled to end at 8:00 p.m. at the Plaza El Diamante, 3400 S. Sylvania Ave. in the Village of Sturtevant.

Those attending the event had to pay at least $35.00 per entry.

A crowd of fans learned before closing that the Banda Arkangel R-15 would be a no show and became upset and wanted a refund. No refunds were given by the Club Torazo Entertainment, the main sponsor of the rodeo. The rodeo was also sponsored by Bustos Media LaGranD 104 FM radio.

It is well know that some Mexican rodeo and dance events promote multiple musical bands, which at times do fail to show causing discontent when fans pay to see them and don't get refunds. Fans are calling it, the usual rip-off by promoters and the mistreatment of people by security at the event.

On Monday, the Racine County Sheriff's Office reported that it had arrested five people at the Homerun Heaven also known as the Plaza El Diamante on Sunday. Two of those arrested was Luis Dorantes, 35, and his son, Luis Torres, 17, both of Milwaukee.
Dorantes on Monday was charged with four misdemeanor counts, two for battery, one for disorderly conduct and one count for resisting arrest. Torres was charged with two misdemeanor counts for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Three others were charged with disorderly conduct.
Two security guards were also reported injured and taken to a local hospital for treatment. Dorantes apparently punch one of them.
The altercation between security and Dorantes happened shortly before the event ended when those attending found out that one of the groups didn't show and sparked a disruption, which a physical altercation between some of the disappointed fans of the Banda Arkangel R-15 wanted their refunds and wouldn't leave the outdoor event.
A video circulating on the social network shows security and police restraining people involved in the disruption near the stage area. Israel Vargas, the owner of the Homerun Heaven/Plaza El Diamante told local media outlets that the altercation happened out side the event, but a video circulating on the social network indicates it happened inside and spread outside when some of those arrested were being escorted out.
More than a dozen squads of law enforcement departments from Racine including the sheriff's department and other nearby police departments responded to the scene. Police are claiming, it was a chaotic scene at the Plaza El Diamante in the Village of Sturtevant.
The Racine County Sheriff's Office released the following statement, "At approximately 7:30 p.m. the Racine County Communications Center took another call advising a male party had assaulted a security guard at Homerun Heaven.
Upon Racine County deputies arrival it was learned that there were multiple fights in progress.
A total of 10 Racine County Sheriffs squads, 4 Mount Pleasant Police Department squads, 2 Sturtevant Police Department squads, and 1 Wisconsin State Trooper responded to maintain order.
Two private security guards were injured in the fights, one which was taken to the hospital by rescue. No law enforcement personnel were injured.
A total of 5 patrons were arrested and taken to Racine County Jail.
At 8:30 p.m. the Racine County Communications Center received a report of a roll over accident on I-94 northbound in the Town of Raymond. Wisconsin State Patrol handled the accident. Preliminary investigation has revealed the accident involved patrons from the Homerun Heaven event and it is believed alcohol was a contributing factor in the accident."

Salinas, California - On Sunday, the Salinas Police Department is investigating whether five police officers used excessive force to subdue José Velasco, 28, on Friday around 7:14 p.m. when police responded to a mother and son altercation on N. Main Street near Bernal Drive in heavy traffic. When several police officers arrived at the scene, they saw Velasco pushed his mother into the street pavement. When they approached Velasco to take him off his mother and to detain him, he began to struggle with the two officers. Velasco managed to grab a taser from one of the officers and the other officer began to strike Velasco with a police baton. One officer also managed to use a taser on Velasco twice, but had no effect, according to the Salinas Police Department.

As other officers arrived at the scene they too began to use batons to beat or as the Salinas police spokesman says was to subdue the suspect or treat. The beating incident by police was video recorded by a driver parked along the opposite traffic lane.

Velasco's sister, Antionette Ramirez claims he suffers from a mental illness and that he didn't intent to hurt his mother when he pushed her in the street.
